The treasure is found in the Awakening Wood and right near the location of the Blue Onion. It has the Japanese writing あおいろ? (lit.: "blue") on it in the Japanese version of the game.

Location of the Decorative Goo.

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

It can be easily achieved once Olimar obtains ten Blue Pikmin. This is also where the Radiation Canopy was found in Pikmin.

Notes

Olimar's journal

With the assistance of the blue Pikmin, we found a canister of paint today. I used it to give the ship a fresh coat of paint! But did it thank me? Noooo. As a space pilot, I've always treated my ship like a trusted companion (even if it is a smart aleck). Yet, this snobbish ship has the gall to complain about the color! There's no pleasing it! Forget this...I'm going to bed.

Sales pitch

Everyone enjoys decorating in favorite hues, but it's vital to utilize new colors now and then. This tube of goo will surely help you discover a new you!

Treasure Hoard appearance

The Decorative Goo, seen floating in the Treasure Hoard in the US version, as explained here.
The treasure floating in the Treasure Hoard.

Oddly, depending on the region and area, the treasure will appear differently when viewed in the Treasure Hoard. In the Japanese version, the treasure always appears correctly. In the US version, the treasure always appears to float above the floor. In the European version, in all areas except the Perplexing Pool, the treasure again appears at ground level, but it lacks a shadow; in the Perplexing Pool, it looks the same as in the US version. These differences are all mirrored in the respective Wii re-releases for each version.

The reason for this is because in the US version, something unknown changed in the treasure's geometry, making it appear slightly above its origin point, compared to the Japanese version. The US developers did not realize this, and so the treasure is visually floating in that version. For the European version, this oversight was caught, but instead of correcting the model's data, the developers altered the spawn position of the treasure to be five units below floor level.[1] While this does visually place the tube on the floor, it also means its shadow doesn't appear, since the object's Y coordinate is technically under the floor, and there is no floor below that to project a shadow onto. The coordinates for the Perplexing Pool have not been changed since it is very hard to even notice the problem, given that the treasure is underwater.

Trivia

  • A blue stain can be found where this treasure is located, suggesting that part of the tube's contents was dumped out, likely by the Blue Pikmin found lurking near it.
  • This treasure's Treasure Hoard number is 64, a likely reference to the Nintendo 64. This is supported due to the fact that this is a Mario reference, and the fact that some other Nintendo GameCube games reference the Nintendo 64 (for example, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door).
